Nice show and a vintage group ride at no cost on Saturday. Great location if your an old car guy as all the barns are open for viewing as well as the bikes. If you show a bike for $12.00 I think you get 2 free entrance tickets etc etc.  Last I heard they were hungry for more bikes.  Have a smaller size swap meet also but it has been getting bigger.   http://www.gilmorecarmuseum.org/visit-explore-2/collections/

Always a fun event and if you have never visited the Gilmore it is more than worth the trip.

I've been on the Saturday ride two times. I got goosebumps pulling out of the assembly area with hundreds of old cycles. If the sun is shining, I might be there.

Ride is on Saturday, show and swap meet Sunday.

This will be my first time there. I watched a video of the 2013 show and its refreshing to see a meet in michigan thats not 99% new harleys. They had everything. I'll be camping for sure.
